User Attribute Mapping

When you configure a connection from the Policy Server to a user directory, you can map SiteMinder's seven built-in attributes to directory-specific user attribute names.

• Universal ID
• Disabled Flag
• Password Attribute
• Password Data
• Anonymous ID
• Email
• Challenge/Response

User attribute mapping extends this capability by allowing you to define your own common names in SiteMinder and to map each one to user attribute names in multiple user directories with different underlying schema. After the connections from the Policy Server to the user directories are configured, you can use one common name to reference the same user information in different user directories.
